I Can't

Older Poems, (2005 - 2008) It's hard to wake up without your smiling face
Knowing all the pain we hold, I can't erase
I wish I could understand why we are apart
Why I cannot just give you my whole heart
I lay awake at night wondering how
But then I remember it can't be now.
I can't just walk out and leave my life behind
I wish I could just get you off my weary mind
Where everything I have is where I should be
A future for us, I just can't get myself to see
Maybe I'm blind to the fact you love me too
Or maybe I'm just not ready to love you.
It's hard walking around with a smile
When I know it'll fade after a while
Not being able to see your eyes looking into mine
Is like not being able to see the sun ever shine
Not being able to see your smile brings me pain
It's like the flowers not being able to get the rain.
If you read my words and you feel they are true
Then you will know, deep in your heart, I do
I do love you more than you can begin to know
But I'm starting to think that I have to let you go
I share the words with the world today
Knowing one day, my love will fade away.
That's the way it has to be between you and I
It hurts me enough that all I do is cry
I'm willing to leave and hurt you no more
But I can't bring myself to that forbidden door
I can't allow myself to walk away when the feelings are there
I just hope that you read this and you may see that I care.
i can really relate to this one too..
Lovely poem! Those times for goodbyes make you wonder if it's all worth it at all. But then a loving new 'hello' may just be round the corner...
I wish you strength.
